Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Jules-and-Boo]

:-)

I think he just waits til I'm doing something else...

I should expect it by now that's why it's irrational....

[Robert Poste's Child]

His mother has a lot to answer for...

[HelBel65]

People sitting near me at the cinema chomping on their nachos.

And why do cinemas sell such noisy food anyway?

[Robert Poste's Child]

That's one of the joys of the NFT (or BFI if you're under 30): no noise.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Property owners boring on about how much the value has gone up since they bought it. Thinking back fondly to circa 1990 and the badges that said, 'I don't give a f#ck how much your house is worth'. So glad no one I know does dinner parties any more.

If another estate agent tells me "it is not a problem" ( when I tell them I will call them later) I will not be responsible for my actions .grrrr.

[steveo]

'No problem' in general, particularly from waiters.

There'd better not be a problem mate because if there is then we would have a problem

[womanofdulwich]

"like"

[Sue]

Drives me mad too.

I don't expect there to be a ******* problem, so why tell me there isn't one? Grrrr indeed.

People who refer to written musical notes as dots.

Dots?!?!

[Otta]

Lots of classical musicians do that.

I agree it's rubbish.

[MrBen]

As I type this, a man behind me on a quiet 40 in is clipping his nails.

Dot notation ...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Dotted_notes3.svg/190px-Dotted_notes3.svg.png

Example 1. Dotted notes and their equivalent durations.

The curved lines, called ties, add the note values together.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_note

You may of heard the phrase 'Read the Dots'

Well you need to know about The Dots to read sheet Music..

People who sit at a funny angle or sideways on trains B*stards!

[DulwichFox]

People in The EDT who move their table and chair in front of the fire and sit there

for an hour or so with their a*se in the flames whilst sipping on a pint of tap water...

Selfish sods...

In the example you give, the "dot" is referring to the actual dot, not the note.

They are dotted notes.. Reading the dots gives you the duration of the Note..

Foxy

[Otta]

Yes, thanks DF. I actually learnt that before I'd left primary school.

But when people say "read the dots" they are not talking about the dots, they are talking about the notes, and they are annoying.

Don't blame me on buses - on half the buses I can't get my legs in straight due to the stupidly small space they leave between seats. And I'm not amazingly tall, so I reckon quite a few people suffer this.

Dulwich Fox, I was not talking about dotted notes - I doubt anybody talks about them apart from during a music lesson :)

I was referring to people who call the notes themselves (dotted or not) "dots" :))

ETA: OOOPS sorry Otta, just seen you said the same thing, I hadn't read the rest of the thread.

[Jah Lush]

Getting home and then realising you've forgotten your fags.

[Otta]

That's a bloody huge thing!

[numbers]

Irritatingly, this thread has neither been about little things or irrational rage for ages. It's mostly been about rational rage.

Anyway, cafes who put a blob of basil pesto on tomatoes in a side salad. Just stop it please, it pervades EVERYTHING. If i wanted pesto, I'd have ordered it so enough of the poncey garnishes that are about as welcome as balsamic drizzle from the late 90s. Thankyouverymuch.

[Salsaboy]

What sort of cafes do you go to then? The ones I mostly frequent wouldn't know what pesto is let alone a tomato unless it had been fried.
